no, no you can't

A usb wireless adapter can't store data. It is used to send wifi signals between a computer and a router, so gaining access via the router to the internet. The wired equivalent is an ethernet cable.

for any wireless network work you need the following two things working in conjunction with eachother:1: a wireless signal (from your own wireless router, or one you "steal" from a neighbor)2: a wireless receiver (built-in, usb adapter, etc)so yes you can use the usb to get on the net, but only with a signal, probably from your own wireless router.

No, the wireless mouse adapter was meant to receive the signal from the mouse only. This is because there are many wireless devices and your adapter was designed only to pick up the one registered device. Even if you could donate the mouse responder to the router, the adapter would expect the router to send it mouse specific commands only.
